Isn't there a variation on this that replaces offensive and misspelled comments with quotes from physicists and other luminaries? My friend said he had something like that and it sounds pretty great.

Just go under options and unlock sexy mode, and she'll appear as a pair of big blue titties that get squished onto your screen when you ask questions.


No seriously, Cortana is a fun character with some pretty funny and wry lines. A little personality isn't a bad thing.

The fear and fascination of cuckoldry by men of darker complexion goes back at least as far as Shakespeare, as far as I can personally attest and cite, and I suspect "cuck" has been an insult to men as long as men have walked the Earth and felt that women were property. I am confident a classicist can probably tell us the first time it appears in literature (it's probably related to the Maenads, if I had to guess, since they were the free-spirited cult of Dionysius)

I'm glad we have amateur historians like you, to answer the questions no one wants the answers to.

I'd rather a hundred innocent men be asked by the proper authorities to present paperwork they're recommended to carry than see one child successfully trafficked because people were scared to look silly/racist or give their employers a PR problem.

Pretty much this. I'm not in United's corner by any means, but this was a lose lose scenario for them. Next time something like this happens and it actually IS a case of trafficking or whatever and they ignore it fearing a PR disaster, they employees could easily get jail time or massive fines or something.

What loving part don't you understand?

I'm just saying it shouldn't be up to some random Joe Airline employee to determine whether someone's good to go or not. Can a flight attendant spot faked documents? Would they even know what to look for? Probably not.

There are ways to combat crime without being jackbooted racists, you loving idiot rear end in a top hat. There are actual goddamn guidelines for spotting and intervening with child trafficking and nowhere on that list is "harass anyone who fails the paper bag test in the vicinity of a child."

"We got this cube thing, and it can rewrite all history" is one of the laziest plot devices I've ever heard.

Welcome to comic books, its full of awful plot devices.

Evil twins, parallel universes, cosmic cubes, LMD's, ROBODOOMS.

As a massive Captain America fan I actually think the idea that Cap in the unaltered timeline was a Nazi is a very interesting idea. It basically means that all of Marvel continuity from the 1940's onward was built on a cosmically induced lie.

I mean, it's an incredibly stupid idea, but it's still very interesting.

The same thing applies to every product - all those late 90s comedians that joked about "WHY WOULD YOU EVER USE THE HAIR DRYER IN THE SHOWER LOL HERES YOUR SIGN"? It was done to prevent someone from taking a hair dryer in the shower, using it, hurting themselves, and suing the company because "hey you didn't say NOT to do that!!"

Wow, it's the ice cream equivalent of "The Half-Hour News Hour."

Also, "ketchup dough"? :barf:

Hahaha, I forgot this show existed! To be fair so did nearly anyone else.

For those not in the know it was Fox New's answer to the Daily Show and proof that conservative satire can also be funny! It's got a 2.6 on IMDB and a 13% on Metacritic. I was lucky enough to catch a rerun of it at like 3:30 am at work. No small feat considering the show lasted about 6 months. It was astoundingly bad.

The Wikipedia article is a hoot

quote:

Recurring Sketches:

Conspiracy Corner - segments where a guest presents generally accepted information about a topic, and that information is treated as far-fetched by the host, who holds stereotypical left-wing views.
Guy White: Closet Conservative — a cartoon featuring a conservative man working in an office in which everyone else is a liberal caricature.
Hollywood Helping Humanity — satirical public service announcements featuring actors endorsing dubious causes, such as recycling breast implants. Actors appearing in this sketch include Leyla Milani, Ken Davitian, Ian Ziering, and Lorenzo Lamas.
I'm the ACLU — satirical advertisements "boasting" of controversial causes supported by the ACLU.
Presidential Addresses — Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh had a recurring cameo role as the President, with conservative pundit Ann Coulter as his Vice President.

Dick Bong was the top American ærial ace of the Second World War.

He died the same day as the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. They shared headlines in U.S. papers.



Dick Bong usually has a street or something named after him on USAF bases (at least every one I've been to). He's honestly a godsend if you've ever had to compete for an award or promotion or anything and have to take questions, because his name is impossible to forget, no awkward pauses while you try to remember his name.
